better than average. U.S. Anti intellectualism is something that frightens me, when can we go back to a nation that prided itself on having the best education system for all on the planet, that would have been that time from 1945-1969 but did linger until 81 when the big tax cut killed support for mass higher education for all eligible students at state colleges and universities with fed and state tax money. The fed tax funds were cut.

Maybe that is why being stupid was made to be an attractive personal trait, in the moves, on television, idiots were made into heroes.
